*Rapunzel keeps her head on the post, not saying anything to Calcifer for a moment, instead only exhaling; she then clenches her fists, shaking her head* I messed up... I let my paranoia get the best of me again...when I should've just let it go...

*Rapunzel's eyes tremble as she closes them* But...you probably heard his tone of voice..! He was...so upset with me and how far I was letting this little thing get..! I don't deserve someone like him... Or anyone I suppose...

*Rapunzel looks down, pulling a lock of her hair* ...Still... *she looks at Calcifer, biting her lip* What can I do to make it up to him?? What kind of things does he like?? He's never really told me..

Calcifer huffed slightly. "Well . . . there was this old lady who used to work here . . . except, well, she wasn't really old. She didn't say anything, but we could all tell that she'd been cursed to be old. Howl tried to lift the spell, but it didn't work," he shrugged. "Maybe you could do something . . ."

*Rapunzel nods* O-ok... *she goes over to the door and twists the knob until the circle turns green; she opens the door then bites her lip, nodding to Calcifer as she leaves the house going down the street; once she arrives at the hat shop, she hesitates a bit then opens the door, peeking inside*
